After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2310: The Use of the Hairpin

Chapter 2310: The Use of the Hairpin

"These women all have one thing in common. They're all rich. They're either very capable themselves or their families are very rich. Nan Dong has plundered a lot of things from them over the years. There are even a few who went bankrupt because of him! There are also many who committed suicide," Yao Nian said with a frown.

Qiao Mei looked through these photos carefully and discovered something strange. Why would a man wear a lady's bangle? This was a little strange.

"I also notice the same thing. I have gone through the information and it is stated that the item belongs to Nan Dong's late parents. Nan Dong treasures this bangle very much and doesn't allow anyone to touch it. He even wears it in the shower and he doesn't take it off at all. He has said that it's how he honors the memories of his mother," Yao Nian said.

Qiao Mei found a closeup photo of the bangle. This was clearly the bangle that used to be part of Gao Tao's jewelry set! It would appear that the function of this bangle was to allow the wearer to gain great charm and make designated people fall in love with the wearer.

"How... utterly shameless..." Qiao Mei said through gritted teeth.

Everything that Qian'e did made sense now. Nan Dong had set up everything. He was eyeing her money!

She must put a stop to all of this!

Qiao Mei did not know how to stop Nan Dong. All the jewelry in her possession had no protective effect, except... for the jade bangle in her hand. However, if she gave this jade bangle to Qian'e, then what about herself?

Just as Qiao Mei was almost at her wits' end, she suddenly thought of the hairpin that she had bought for 5 million dollars that day. Could it be the solution to this problem?

After Qiao Mei sent Yao Nian off, she quietly returned to the bedroom and opened the closet. Without alerting anyone, Qiao Mei had created a secret room underground to hide all her treasures! No one knew about this place.

She gently opened the box containing Gao Tao's jewelry. After being soaked in 10,000-year- old ginseng juice, these jewelry had already regained their former sparkle. Although the abilities inside them could not be restored to peak level, Qiao Mei could already communicate simply with them.

That hairpin looked very ordinary and could only be described as inconspicuous in this set of jewelry. However, after being soaked in 10,000-year-old ginseng juice, no one would be able to take their eyes off it by now.

Qiao Mei picked up the hairpin and wore it in her hair. She could feel a warm current flowing through her body and that her entire body was emitting a faint green light, as if she was being protected in a gla.s.s cover.

"Can it be... that the function of this hairpin is to isolate the wearer from the dangers of the outside world?" Qiao Mei curiously reached out to touch the green barrier. The barrier seemed to have a life of its own and it kept moving closer to Qiao Mei before carefully attaching itself to Qiao Mei's skin.

As an experiment, Qiao Mei made a cut on her arm with a knife. Unexpectedly, when the knife touched her skin, it felt as if the knife had touched gla.s.s. However, the strength of the hairpin was still a little weak now. It would definitely be very useful once it was properly nourished.

"Isn't this what we call invulnerability! No wonder Nan Dong really wanted this hairpin!" Qiao Mei said ecstatically.

Early the next morning, Li Gui dressed up and got ready to head to her appointment. When she got into the car, she realized that Qiao Mei was also inside, seemingly in a good mood.

"Mei Mei? Why are you in the car!" Li Gui said in surprise.

"I also want to go and meet that man, Nan Dong. I'm like a younger sister to Qian'e. Am I really going to ignore her?" Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

"That's great!" Li Gui said happily.

Qiao Mei took out a brocade box from her bag and handed it to Li Gui, saying, "This is a token from me. Once we reach the venue, bring it to Qian'e and put it on for her."

When Li Gui opened the brocade box, she was shocked and immediately said, "Isn't this your favorite jade bangle? How can you bear to give this to Qian'e?"

Back when Qiao Mei bought this bangle, Qian'e also liked it very much. Qian'e had asked Qiao Mei for it many times but Qiao Mei never gave it to her. Li Gui did not expect that this time round... It certainly seemed that Qiao Mei had really forgiven Qian'e.

Li Gui told Qiao Mei about what Qian'e told her about Nan Dong, but Qiao Mei did not listen to a single word, only responding to her in an offhand manner. Li Gui could tell that Qiao Mei did not really want to talk about this, so she kept quiet.

"Mei Mei, we're here," Li Gui said.

Qian'e ran out of the venue with a smile on her face. The moment she saw Qiao Mei, her smile froze. She had not imagined that Qiao Mei would come to her engagement party.

"What are you doing here?" Qian'e asked moodily.

"I'm here because I'm a member of the family, of course. As if I'm here to get married? Do you think I'm willing to come?" Qiao Mei could not hide the disdain in her tone.
